Abstract

The present study was conducted to investigate nitrite-scavenging ability of the components of Cassiae torae semen, Cassia tora L. The nitrite-scavenging effects of fractions obtained from methanol extract of Cassiae torae semen, Cassia tora L. were strong in ethyl acetate fraction, chloroform fraction, water soluble fraction and ethyl ether fraction in order. Compound D showed the strongest nitrite-scavenging effects among compound A, B, C, D separated from Cassiae torae semen. Compound D separated from Cassiae torae semen possessed ten-fold stronger the nitrite-scavenging effect than ascorbic acid.

전통기호음료성분에 의하여 나타나는 기능특성을 조사하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 결명자의 메탄올 추출물을 유기용매에 의한 분획, silica gel column chromatography, thin layer chromatography에 의하여 여러가지 획분으로 분획하여 아질산염 소거작용을 조사한 결과, 아질산염 소거율은 ethyl acetate 획분>chloroform 획분>수용성 획분>ethyl ether 획분의 순으로 나타났으며, ethyl acetate 획분에서 분리한 compound D의 아질산염 소거효과는 매우 강력하여 ascorbic acid보다 10배 뛰어났다.
